The w. G. L. U. meeting closed last
evening, and has been one of the most
pleasant ana profitable yet held by the
society.
business men on Front street be-
tween Hickory and Walnut are begin
ming to wonder how much longer the
sewer excavation is to be left open. Most
of them succeed well enough in smother
ing their indignation as they daily have
their view obstructed by the great pile
of dirt which fringes the sidewalk, but
one or two outbreaks have occurred in
which the city council, contractors, ETC.,
came in for Il share of doubtful compli-
ments.
Exchanges at Faribault, Austin, AL
bert Lea and other places where "Blind
Boone" has just given entertainments,
speak flatteringly of his wonderful mus
ical abilities and highly recommend his
exhibition. Remember the great blind
pianist gives one entertainment in this
city Oct. 9TH, for the benefit of the
Ladies' Relief Society. Secure your
tickets at once.
w. b. Craig has just finished moving
his side track close to the ledge
and has also rearranged his derricks so
that if necessary he can quarry and load
from % to 80 cars of stone per day,
making it the largest capacity of any
quarry in this part of the country. He
is now filling an order for 800 ears of
rubble for the c., NJ. Il st. p. railway and |
one for the &. x n. w. for go cars of
bridge stone. His saw mill has run the |
entire season producing about 200 square |
feet per day on an average.
The Indian training and industrial
school at Albuquerque, under the care
of the Presbyterian church, met with 4
severe loss by fire in August. This be-
ing one of the most important schools for
the Pueblo Indians, the Presbyterians of
Mankato are ralIying to their relief. At
Il meeting of the Sunday School teachers
it was decided to take upa collection in
both church and Sunday School, on Sun
day Oct. I'd, to aid in rebuilding. Also
to send barrel of supplies. The ladies
of the home missionary society will
gladly take this in charge, and Mrs. w.
Is. Walker will receive all such donations
at her house. All the ladies of the
church are invited to meet at Mrs. Walk
er's on Wednesday p. Nj. Oct. 9Th, to
sew, and prepare for packing, and get
the packages off as soon as possible. No
outside garments can be used, but I'M
for girls and boys, hosiery,
kitchen aprons, sheets, pillow cases,
blankets, comforters, white spreads, tow
els, pillows, toweling, muslin, calicos,
ticking, combs, brushes, napkins, table
linen, and, in short, all household sup
plies will be most thankfully received.
This is pressing case. School is delay
ed, pupils homeless, and an immediate,
hearty action is implored.

A FINE cHANcB FOR A GOOD HONE.

A FINE CHANCE FOR A GOOD HONE.
BY reference to the large three.col.
umn advertisement of the Minnesota
Loan and Investment Co., it will be
seen that the long Clary ad-
dition to Worthington is to lie plated
and improved and the lots are to be
put upon the market. The company,
which forms syndicate of a number
of our most substantial business men,
has recently purchased the remainder
of the tract, ITO acres, and will offer
the lots at such figures as will enable
any one to secure roomy homestead.
The tract was plated some years ago
into ten acre lots with streets running
east and avenues running north and
south. Grand Avenue runs through
the middle north and south and is 100
feet wide. Work has already begun
toward improving this avenue. Bur
lington street runs through the mid
die east and west and is also 100 feet
wide. The other streets and avenues
are 70 feet wide. The lots are e6 feet
front and 277 feet deep.
These lots are to be put upon the
market at the right time. Should the
mill project, the broom factory, the
water works, the Omaha railroad d.
vision, and the Burlington extension
north all strike US, as there is hope
that they will during the next year or
two, these lots will be in great demand.
